The memorial is a joint project between the Cemetery and the Kelowna chapter of the Compassionate Friends, an organization dedicated to bereaved parents and family members.

The Brevity Memorial was dedicated on September 25, 2004 and won First Prize in the International Cemetery and Funeral Association’s 2004 “Keeping it Personal” awards.
